I just finished the most useless widget of them all, the PieChart! The only thing it does is to look cool. Not too bad for 67 lines of code.

I use Openbox so take this for what its worth, but having messed with Awesome a bit, I cant imagine how much work youve put into the rc.lua.

Looks busy, but pretty slick. Info?

If ever a tiler gets me away from Openbox, it will either be Awesome or Wingo (which isnt really a default tiler).

Info? Ok:

The second screenshot is not really representative of my workflow. It is just displaying all most modules. Most of it were quite trivial to implement once the libraries backing them were ready. I use Awesome since 6 years, so I had plenty of opportunities to write some extensions, sometime just to see what it would look like. What you see in the "all.png" screenshot it mostly widgets based on the Radical ( https://github.com/Elv13/radical) library. This library make it easy to create quite complex modules. The "alt+tab" one you see at the center of the right screen has something like 30 features, but still is under 150 line of code ( https://github.com/Elv13/radical/blob/m … alttab.lua ). If you look at page 1 of this thread, a very old version of my config is displayed. Somehow, the current edition actually take less code than that one (thanks to the libraries like Radical). It is currently at about ~16k lines, but at some point it was over 25k.

I like how everything fits together, and the colour palette as well.
EDIT: Can you share the wall?

Sure thing! I made it in Illustrator myself to match the color scheme and to provide a base for conky widgets so they're not all boring and lined up along one of the sides. http://i.imgur.com/Cj5gD1I.png

Concerning the color palette, I spend so much time trying to make a flat, muted color scheme that I can use but I never feel like I have it quite right. This one's been in the works for most of a year and I think it's finally close to perfect for me

Christ almighty! That looks like a UI you would find in a big-budget Hollywood film or on CSI. That's the most impressive rc.lua I've ever seen.

EDIT: How much CPU does it eat?

Haha, I commented on it above. Its just now I realize he has titlebars with clickable buttons on them?? I didnt even know awesome could do that. Ive read about a few hacks but they were only discussed briefly and were abandoned. Im going to have to look through his rc.lua, but ill have to learn lua first

Generally speaking, I like the more simple themes in this thread (I use openbox after all), but his is an exception..

Elv13 · 2014-03-11 02:57:59

@GSF1200S: Awesome support titlebars since 2008, you only had to have "titltebar=true" in rc.lua, it is a standard feature. What you are referring to is a length of time where Awesome-git had broken titlebar support (2010-2012), but the "stable" version had them

@NewWorld: Not that much, my rc.lua is multithreaded, I use glib "async" methods to prevent the process from blocking. Then some advancements in both Awesome and LGI slashed the CPU usage from 15% to about 3% (3% from 1 of 4 cores). I am not claiming it is perfect yet, a lot more can be done (and will be done) to optimize the stack. Most (90%+) of the current "waste" is not related to my config, but from pushing Awesome much harder than it ever was. There is a lot of improvements such as avoiding useless redraw and better pixmap caching to slim it down. When I run it on 5 screens, you feel the weight, but on 2, it doesn't slow anything down.

It looks to me like your awesome has min/max/close buttons on your titlebars. i know awesome has had titlebars a while, but i didnt see any config that included buttons..

They are there by default, I changed nothing

Maybe you refer to Awesome 2 (2007-2008) when it was a little harder.

Wow dude. Sure enough. I always liked how awesome tiled and liked its tagging system, but couldnt get past no buttons on the titlebars. Indeed- it is in the default config now. I feel like a dummy for sure!

It (almost) always was, see https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/bl … bar.lua.in from 5 years ago next month. As nobody use them, I am not surprised people assume it is not the default.

The wallpaper was inspired by the old Intex Systems terminals in Alien Breed on the Amiga.

Hi,

Thank you all for the inspiration!
After playing around with a few different WMs this month I've finally fallen for Awesome about a week ago. Zenburn theme + compton. I'll continue playing with colors and widgets next month.
